Hey all,

Curius to see how many of you guys in Japan ride your bikes around the scenic routs in japan ? I'm a bit of a fan of fitness and I think riding your bike around Japan is a great way of seeing the beautiful country. do many of you experience this ?

found an awesome webpage http://www.kancycling.com/Destinations/Des...stinations.html

with routes and destinations for bike riding.

I don't but I have been riding to work for the past 5years...something I probably wouldn't do in Aust, so I think it's great. I prefer to take drives and have seen some very beautiful country, then when I arrive take out my foldup bicycle for a ride around the area.

But I have 3 mates who do cycling around the Kansai, Chugoku and Shikoku regions during the holidays...in fact you tend to meet other foriegners cycling around too. A mate met his canadian wife this way ;)

I'm the opposite - since moving to Japan I hardly ever use my bicycle. It's way too hot and humid in the summer and in the winter too cold and windy. But if you don't mind the weather and the hard work involved in cycling up/down numerous mountains, then a bicycle is a great way to see rural Japan...

Hehehe - got to wonder how many bikes are stolen each year by drunk salary men, who aint got a clue which bike is theirs after one too many drinks...

I've seen on two occassions guys smashing the hell out of a bicycle lock outside an izakaya only to realize later they were trying to unlock the wrong bicycle! :P:) :)

Yeah, but it is weird - in a country where crime is very low, bicycles are stolen all the time...

      How many of you guys run the synchro os giken set and at what power? Do you then also use the billet plate?  How is it launching with it, any dragy times from 0-60? 60ft?

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
